Well the car went for a mot and failed on welding , broken front springs and a bulb. I knew about the first 2 things before hand. It also got an advisory for rusted and pitted discs. I have a set of back discs in my stock but need a pair of front disc. (Do you have any I can have cheap?) They are to thin to skim.
Don't fancy taking it over the Stelvio pass in North Italy on poor breaks.

My thoughts exactly - the MV6 is supposed to be ferrying me across Stelvio Pass in August, encouraging me to invest in Brembo six-pots!

If there is one thing I learnt from my years of banger rallying - it you are doing the passes, invest in good brakes pads and discs as standard fade real quick!

The cav passed it's mot.
Had 2 weld it in 3 places, fitted a set of lowering springs, replaced a blow bulb and new discs with pads all round.
So it will be heading off round Europe in October.
